Marina Cay: The Perfect Stop on Your Sailing Vacation
If you’re planning on a sailing vacation in the British Virgin Islands, one of the best islands to visit is Marina Cay, an 8-acre island paradise that was once home to novelist Robb White and his wife Rodie.
The island of Marina Cay is an ideal family spot. Because of its shallow, calm waters, small children can play in safety while exploring the soft, white, sandy beaches and frolicking in the water, playing Marco Polo or looking for seashells.
If you have older children, you could learn how to snorkel together while experiencing the beauty of the coral reef and the colorful fish that inhabit it and the surrounding areas.
As for Mom and Dad, you can lounge on the beach while the children play, basking in the sun’s warm rays and reading one of Robb White’s books about the island. What better time to learn about the island’s history then while you’re visiting it on your sailing vacation?
Another way for your family to experience the beauty of the island is by kayak, which the local dive shop can provide. Then, after your kayaking adventure, you can stop in for a bite to eat at Pusser’s Porch Grille, which offers everything from burgers and steak, to chicken, pork and seafood. No matter what you choose, make sure to leave some room for one of their many scrumptious desserts. You don’t want to pass up key lime pie or cheesecake. Sounds delicious!
Finally, before you depart the island to continue on with your sailing vacation, make sure to stop in at Pusser’s Company Store to pick up some souvenirs to remember your trip. You might even pick up a few T-shirts for your loved ones back home who are sure to be envious when you tell them what a great time you had.
